Canadiens say Danault has a concussion after being struck in head
Montreal Canadiens coach Claude Julien isn’t sure how long forward Phillip Danault will be out after suffering a concussion when struck in the head by a Zdeno Chara slapshot.
All Julien knows for sure is Danault won’t make a road trip to Boston on Wednesday and Washington on Friday.
“I haven’t talked to him yet purposely because he’s still having headaches,” said Julien. “So just to give him a bit of space here.
“I do plan on talking to him when we get some news of him feeling better. He still has those headache symptoms. It’s being dealt with now as a concussion. He will be evaluated day to day. Concussions can be short just like they can be extremely long so we don’t really have a clue right now.”
